Gem Gloves Flawless Collection Japanese Kip Leather Baseball Fielding Glove - GEM187 Royal Flush

Gem Gloves Flawless Collection Japanese Kip Baseball Glove

The Gem Gloves Flawless Collection Baseball Fielding Glove is the most premium baseball glove Gem Gloves has made. Each one is built from high-end Japanese Kip leather, a full step up from Gem's American Kip baseball gloves. Japanese Kip is widely considered some of the finest glove leather in the game. It is softer and finer-grained, and it stays light on the hand while keeping the structure a baseball glove needs. The result is a glove that feels game-ready sooner, closes with precision, and holds its shape through season after season of reps.

Available Sizes and Web Patterns

• 11.5" I-Web: a quick-transfer infield size for middle infielders who need fast exchanges
• 12" H-Web: a versatile size for third base, utility players, and pitchers who want a secure pocket with clear visibility

Japanese Kip Leather: The Flawless Upgrade

Kip leather comes from younger cattle, so the hide is lighter with a tighter grain than standard steerhide. The Flawless Collection goes further with Japanese Kip, a premium grade known for its buttery feel, consistent quality, and fast, even break-in. If you've played one of Gem's American Kip baseball gloves, Flawless keeps the baseball-specific pattern you trust and adds the leather elite players look for.

Authentic Baseball-Specific Pattern

The Flawless glove uses an authentic baseball pattern designed for a true fit and dependable performance at every position it's built for. Whether you're turning two up the middle or fielding comebackers on the mound, it gives you the control and confidence to make every play.

30% Factory Break-In, 70% Shaped by You

Each glove ships about 30% factory broken-in, so it's close to game-ready out of the box, with 70% left for you to form to your hand and fielding style. Japanese Kip's natural suppleness makes that final break-in faster and more even than with stiffer leathers. Keep it in top shape with conditioners and tools from our glove care collection.

Impact Protection and All-Day Comfort

Enhanced palm padding reduces the sting of hard-hit balls so you can field aggressively. A plush wool wrist liner keeps the fit snug and stable through doubleheaders and tournament weekends. A padded thumb sleeve adds protection without limiting mobility.
